Seismic Assessment and Design Philosophy of Reinforced Concrete in Australia

Ryans's research project aims at finding the performance of existing reinforced concrete walls in response to rare and very rare earthquake events. This research firstly reassess the seismic for 500 year and 2500 return period events in Australia. Using the results of earthquake hazard demand, the performance of existing reinforced concrete walls will be assessed in response to these events. Cost effective changes or detailing provisions will be recommended from the results.
